Setup and help

Start with the Quickstart. Configure a default Registry before using shorthand references or platform commands, then authenticate.

Terminal

flt config set registry registry-alpha.fleetai.me
flt auth login registry-alpha.fleetai.me
flt status

flt COMMAND --help
fleet COMMAND --help
fleet-runtime COMMAND --help

Human output is the default. flt --json uses the versioned fleet.cli.v1 envelope and fleet --json uses fleet.control.v1. Their --json and --quiet modes are mutually exclusive. Runtime JSON flags are command-specific; check the selected Runtime command’s help before treating its output as an automation contract.
